Blue-Eyed Black Inmate Popular On Social Networking Gets A Manager And Death Threats

Jeremy Meeks

Jeremy Meeks, the blue-eyed black
inmate, who took social networking by storm this month when his mug
shot went viral, retained the services of an entertainment
manager with the hope of capitalizing on his new found online fame. It
was thought he could make money with the assistance of a
manager, via tell all stories, interviews and licensing deals from
jail.

However, their plan has already encountered trouble,
due to his gang ties. Meeks says he was a member of the Northside Crips in California
and has left the illegal
group, even though said allegiances are usually for life. According to TMZ,
Meeks' new manager has
been receiving death threats via harassing telephone calls regarding
her representation of the pretty boy.

If only Meeks had applied himself when he was a free
man, he could have become a model making tens of thousands of
dollars per month and pursued other opportunities as well. When he
gets out of jail, here's hoping he gets on the right path and stays
out of trouble. To all who are thinking about pursuing a life of
crime, I implore you not to do so. It's a fast life that leads to
trouble. Stay on the straight and narrow. Look for lawful, gainful
employment and keep trying to become a legitimate success the right
way.
